Note: The sign “HOW-MANY” doesn’t use the sign “HOW.” Also,
“HOW-MANY” uses a furrowed brow and moves upward. The sign “MANY” uses a
“nod of the head” and moves a bit forward.
These are three different signs:
HOW / MANY /
HOW-MANY

Curriculum revisions:
Note: A better way to say "Who hurt your feelings?" would be to sign "Who
insulted you?" But since the intent of the lesson is to teach the signs
HURT and FEEL, the sentence would be better if it was, "YOU FEEL PAIN WHERE?"
(Where does it hurt?)
